a massive operation and now it's the first time that i haven't. been great since the euro crisis started going to find the country and it's this recession struggling against that vicious spiral of us there it's the asperity that many people here in greece feel that she has so is the old i knew the importance of this it really can't be underestimated how much she joined. finance minister. thank you very much for joining us to be here this is the first time. being to grace since the euro crisis started i mean this is. very encouraging development she is trying to send the message that greece needs to be stabilized and germany will stand next to greece so it's a very very bold statement it shows that germany is a warrior greece and if greece doesn't make it mean for spain italy portugal and.

we're going to help greece and we're going to help with some of those government and that's why it's very significant that she's here today what a change of rhetoric you know back a couple of years ago and merkel was saying you know that these things coming out of to me is that we should be punished for its behavior and now you know it's a very big change because she realized there's no other way out it's. a bit more time that it should have taken. but they're putting their hands deep in the. brain and it. is the right thing to do greece needs to be supported because once greece gets stabilized. the markets in italy and in spain and portugal. the very important stand here in greece they were going to see some positive developments today i think we're going to see a very positive development. not just the government to push on reforms and saying do that and i'm right next to you the fact that's is coming here is very positive in itself even if nothing. the fact that this show you support for the someone as

governor by itself is very important but such a huge amount of animosity towards germany now amongst the greek people is this. there is some visible army wants to do but the bulk of the people the vast majority are very appreciative of support that germany's given this so you might have one percent two percent three percent of demonstrating the demonstrations are going to be not have you found that i think we're going to be within reason given what has happened to incomes twenty five percent sloshing over incomes tried to do that in germany or england and you would see much more royalty. here is really under police shoulders not that much on the most of the appears to be the gauge goes but how feel free to. make more noise. people are very very appreciative of german french approachable he purchased tickets find out that finance minister in greece thank you very much as well as we heard there of cool greece facing very very tough times

a book on freedom of the internet inspired by the cypherpunks activist group that appeared on his exclusive show for our team can find a full interview of the details on our website. now barack obama's rival for the u.s. presidents in a romney has called for a more aggressive foreign policy in the middle east which would include arming the al-qaeda linked syrian rebels democrats have hit back saying romney stance lacks vision and consistency are she's got it she can has more. mitt romney accused president obama of quote sitting on the sidelines end of quote and not being aggressive enough on syria mr romney suggested actively arming the rebels with weapons that can bring down aircraft of the la pangs he said quote the greater tragedy of it all is that we're missing a story corporate unity to win new friends who share our values in the middle east end of quote but mitt romney's other remarks suggested that maybe he doesn't really care about whose hands the weapons would end up in because the objective that he

stated was to defeat assad seeing it as a stepping stone to iran iran is sending arms to assad because they know his downfall would be a strategic defeat for them we should be working no less vigorously. international partners to support the many syrians who would deliver that defeat to iran rather than sitting on the sidelines so basically mitt romney suggested taking advantage of the crisis in syria to fulfill the goal of defeating iran in blatant but straightforward remark basically expressing the same opportunistic approach to foreign policy that the u.s. has had for many years well obama campaign calls romney reckless and amateurish when it comes to foreign policy so far the administration has stopped short of directly arming the rebels although washington is coordinating the efforts of their allies in the region that is saudi arabia turkey which are providing weapons to the rebels one way or another but those allies are saying that they only provide

smaller weapons that they would love to send have the artillery but they don't have the green light from washington for that because reportedly the administration fears that the weapons might end up in the hands of terrorists experts say one of the ways and why the rebels are not settling down for a negotiated solution through dialogue is the signal that they get that sense that support is on the way that there will be an intervention and everybody now understands without a negotiated solution bloodshed will continue. meanwhile the. if he found her in syria has discovered the rebels are in possession of weapons crates minuteman for the saudi military the insurgents refused to comment on how the gods the shipment and gave no permission to film its contents this comes amid escalating fighting across the country was bomb blasts and firefights in damascus and turkey is stepping up its war rhetoric after six consecutive days of returning fire with syria in response to shelling that some speculate as a provocation by the rebels political analyst dan glazebrook says the insurgents are desperate for foreign intervention the turks so mistake the law on this bid to

oust and of course these guys own reasons for doing this on the one hand they're trying to give cover cover to the rebels to continue their fight they know that the rebels again defeated on the ground so they're bombarding syria as a way to help the rebels not lose too many of their positions but i think also wants to please is kind of. nato nato masters in its bid to join the e.u. so it's been willing to do the bidding in europe and the u.s. britain france and the u.s. there may be helping the hoping that they can somehow try and knowledge nato into taking action as well and to approaching a kind of the blitzkrieg is that she the only thing really that would enable the rebels to where now at this. fireworks jubilation add a fiasco atmosphere right now in venezuela this only means one thing president of the chops as they are to stay and so are his plans for how to handle the country's

economy including it's an enormous oil reserves as are often of reports it's a strong reason for some painful headaches in the west. six years up to the top that may be a part of racing but the workers this is one party that what we're. doing is. it's a victory that supporters say has implications far beyond this country's borders carries shadows is the father of south america all the presidents who are friends among each other latin america understand the understand the significance of chavis for the world that's rising up from its knees for the world of equality for the world without it in many of the empire without a germany of the u.s. and that's percent eastley what makes many western governments nervous venezuela could be an example for other countries i mean here you have a country that is seeing the polarization of wealth which we see not just in one

country not just in two countries but globally is completely toxic and must be addressed and that there must be a redistribution of wealth this is antithetical to what's been known as the washington consensus so in that sense the president chavez is as a threat as a threat that doesn't just hurt washington's influence but its coffers under chavez venezuela has refused to act as a market for u.s. based private investment and no longer can u.s. oil firms rely on the country as a stable source of cheap crude venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves chavez has promised to ramp up production and slash this country's dependence on u.s. markets by doubling exports to asia according to the president and that is why he represents a threat to the west it's not about the. from the economic point of view we have the largest petroleum reserves in the world when the world runs out of oil only five countries which possess the majority of reserves will remain and you have

those are russia iran saudi arabia iraq in venezuela or its black gold can account for the vilification of chavez in the west after all just a year after he took office in one thousand nine hundred nine chavez toured the middle east to lobby key opec members to drive or oil prices higher he also provided subsidized oil to quba bella bruce nicaragua and syria countries whose relations with the west aren't exactly ideal for critics that is well under chavez is a terrifying prospect. i think chavez is mostly criticized for his foreign policy first for breaking relations with traditional trade partners of venezuela such as colombia and the us and second for political alliances with countries which are considered as non-democratic and even belligerent in their foreign policy such as cuba and even more so iran. here chavez says his world view is just one that the west is going to have to get used to. when the so that it was said that an american

model rules and will rule the world and i do remember that end of history he says by an american who writes this book yama the habit of venezuela's rose against new liberalism twenty years ahead of the european r.r.c. which is happening now and venezuela did not need the i.m.f. want although we're not a world power yet a. part of the palace the next six years play out one thing's for certain for now the toughest visit of the new world order it's fair to say is a pattern of art to us also ahead on our team this hour a sharp about turn it seems like more and more ukrainians are packing their bags to leave the e.u. for a better life back home to look out what's driving the move after the short break. in the money underdog these men and women

a walking one of the longest and probably the loneliest road in the world they reenacting march into exile made by thousands of czarist russia. if i was his three hundred years ago i may have disappeared my local lord and i have deserted from the army or a variety of other crimes the result was the same like my fellow prisoners around me i've got a long and very cold walk ahead into exile in siberia it took them years to get there summers and winters entire years a lot of people died on the way this group in the western siberian region of almost discovered the living on the only surviving stretch of the original nine thousand kilometers of the siberian exiles truck has had no modern changes made to it is going to discover that he's descended from some of these exiles and decided to build a museum telling the story. he in his re-enact is now receiving letters from all over the world to show them what it was like when these bloody good earnest it's

scary to put the shackles on of course but it's interesting if we don't remember our history we will have no future we want is a monument to one of the czarist russia cruelest chapters. the city serves as the capital of anticommunist white russian leader admiral culture shock in the civil war from one thousand nine hundred to nine hundred nineteen whilst in residence he lives here there's a study of the man like the maintenance of this building has remained a taboo right up until the present day or we still receive hate mail saying that he hanged a lot of people and was famous for severe punishment it's all true but it was at a time of civil war both sides were monstrously cruel it is sadly the theme of cruelty which links so much of history to the rest of russia's particularly of exile where they were not moral or criminal.

welcome back here with our t.m. marina joshing a trade dispute is brewing between washington and beijing the u.s. house intelligence committee says two chinese top companies should be barred from doing business in america a new report warns that the equipment made by telecom giant away and manufacturers could be used by beijing to spy on the u.s. the two firms have stock struck back saying the document is actually aimed at hampering them competing on the american market the u.s. telecommunications sector is attractive to foreign companies as it's worth some thirty billion dollars and keeps growing a ten cars senior director of strategy for free press says the route with china could backfire on the united states it's interesting to note that most computer equipment most telecommunications equipment is in fact made in china increasingly

china is a player in the technology space and their ability to create cheap manufactured products should pose a threat to business interests overseas business threat not so much a national security threat politics definitely comes into play here you see it in both the romney and obama campaign in an effort to get tough against china this could very well be an outgrowth of that but also of concern is the idea of the marketplace for cyber security with their estimates that i've seen it but this in multibillion dollar business so it's in the interest of lot of these companies that provide cyber security services to inflate the fear it helps businesses that sell cyber security systems that sell systems that will allow us to protect against these alleged attacks that helps them make money so potential for this to have a blowback effect on the united states you look at american companies like cisco systems which is very invested in in. growing its business in china usually what happens when you have these kind of international controversies if the u.s.

acts against a chinese company you could very well see the chinese government act against a u.s. company on its own turf. the european union has proved to be a real magnet for ukraine's migrant workers was one intending employed in the bloc countries but as some even nations to say and further into recession many are heading back home feeling the time has come to find a better life they're here cesc investigates the reverse in a trance and so you're a ghost villages with empty houses and few people on the street a common sight for western ukraine and it's not the result of any disaster almost every family in the west of ukraine has a member working abroad ever since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. ukraine has been one of the main suppliers of cheap labor force into the european union as it stands over four million ukrainians are currently working in europe that's every tenth citizen of the country but this is changing you reworked in

spain for almost a decade before escaping the financial crisis and resettling back home at times he indulges in some gastronomical notes and make spanish style salami at home but yuri says there is no going back. i made good use of the money i'm. currently lease them i also bought a house twenty five kilometers from laval of my state in spain i would have to work like a slave to earn something here i can enjoy life many of my friends who stayed in spain are now out of work and planning to come back to. and he's far from the only one the real estate market in western ukraine is seeing a boom in property sales all thanks to those running away from the collapsing euro zone litigators of people they may have thought of buying houses in the e.u. but he has seen how the crisis playings those countries and a returning home of all real estate properties sold last year almost

a quarter of the blinds were returned migrants muesli by two to three room apartment with up to one thousand euros in the last two three months alone more than a thousand families booked flats here which makes around a hundred million euros worth of investment into property in just one of ukrainian regions the overall sum of european money ending up in ukrainian spoke its is even more astonishing last year ukraine was able to receive up to seven billion years dollars from the ukrainian currently working abroad and that's coming from the country's worst affected by the financial crisis spain italy and portugal where many businesses have grown reliant on migrant ukrainian workers you might think their return home should benefit both sides but in reality economists believe this may spell trouble for ukraine amount of remittances we usually receive.

from seven billion i would expect that this year should be on the level of five billion tional supply of labor coming from e.u. countries to ukraine is needed to be supported and it's additional pressure for the ukrainian byatt which is quite difficult to do when you have a limited amount of resources but yury says even if the labor market goes into meltdown it would not be as bad as it could have been if you stayed in spain the money he brought back has made him completely self-sufficient and immune from being unwanted either at home or abroad. reporting from ukraine. is not set to get any better in europe as marina is about to tell us so you're telling a very good news this hour either another grim. guest exactly the international monetary fund the global recovery is weakening and it also lowered the global

growth forecast for two thousand and thirteen and investors are not impressed by that if we take a look at the numbers for europe in particular will see that they've taken a complete u. turn and then now in negative territory both the footsie of the back side and over a quarter of a precise ok now let's move on and talk about the disputes in russian oil venture and british one. because. and this on the russian co-owners they are considering to sell other stake in the company either to a strategic investor or through an i.p.o. now this would happen to b.p. sells its ports to roles that something local shareholders are really are happy about at the same time they are is not giving up plans to enlarge its take either and b.p. by buying shares from the british partners b.p. says the company would continue the process of selling at stake regardless of the a r move earlier the british oil firm initiated talks to sell its half and russia's third largest oil firm due to a shareholder dispute and the russian markets are also in the guts of territory

although was that the r.t.s. has made a slight comeback this hour though it's flat as it can see that and the my side similarly as well but in negative territory and that's the spike the fact that oil prices are on the draw is but again the negative side spent as have been the fact on cross and that's where the small now let's say we've also talked about a company and in particular we're talking about megaphone of a country is a second largest mobile phone operator which is expected to announce its i.p.l. plans later in the day meanwhile calmer sunday newspaper says the from one less than fifty percent stake in moscow and london on the first of november the move could help the company attract more than its two billion dollars. and that's how business looks at this hour but next hour to talk this all see all of this. and what he tells us is of the lessons of the it's a wave of anger in the arab world after the emergence of that american film which was the offensive to prophet muhammad that's coming up.

the u.s. government has been taken by surprise by the recent wave of anti-american violence one fold in throughout muslim countries following its role in the arab revolutions washington was expecting more aggressive to death of the poor from the nation but did you ask have sufficient cultural and social understanding of the region and on the societies of the countries they were intervening to discuss that not only that we are now joined by sociologist and they had of london school of economics great calhoun thank you very much for being with us my pleasure so what do you think was the kind of miscalculation of the u.s. government people in the united states and in the west generally were enthusiastic

and imagined it was all about you it was about facebook it was about tweets on twitter and it was about the definition of democracy that is common in the west but in fact it was also about strengthening different countries trying to establish our rights for a wide range of people not only those who are sympathetic to the west but the whole population the americans who are stranded in the first place were indeed taken by surprise and when we say did they know we have to ask do we mean by they did some experts working in parts of the universities in the united states or in the intelligence no more than some politicians of course i think that the politicians trying to understand this needed to listen to a wider range of american experts as well as to the world and the people in the region they have been.
